Make this work across two real phones

This demo syncs inside one browser using local storage, as requested. For it to sync between his phone and yours over the internet, it needs a small free backend to relay updates — a browser alone cannot push data to another device without one. The most beginner-friendly option is Google's Firebase Realtime Database (free tier, ~20 minute setup, no server maintenance). Swap the two save()/load() calls in this file for Firebase's set()/onValue() calls and everything else works unchanged.

Dad wants to see:

📍 Your approximate location, updated every 10 minutes
🔋 Battery level and charging status
📶 Network connection type
📱 Basic device info (browser, OS)

This does not include your camera, microphone, messages, photos, or browsing history. You'll see a banner at the top of every page while this is active, and you can turn it off anytime with one tap.
